Col, memorial of the capture of the escaped JNA soldiers

The monument stands on an area fenced with railings and covered with white gravel stones.

It is composed of three massive pieces of Karst stone, representing the three main components in Slovenia's independence. Territorial Defence, Milica, and the inhabitants of Slovenia, who stood by the side of both armed structures during the independence war. The stones are arranged in such a way that they also symbolize the symbol and pride of the Slovenes on our Triglav. In the stones, circles are carved, composed of two parts that symbolize the encirclement and occupation of members of the Territorial Defence and Milica. In the center of the circles is a triangle, through which, despite the recessed position of all three stones, we look, as through the sight of a rifle. Next to it stands a metal pole with a plaque describing the event and a pole with the Slovenian flag.

The monument is dedicated to the joint action of members of the Territorial Defence (TO) and the Milica, when, after the explosion of a military warehouse in Črni Vrh above Idrija on 1 July 1991, fleeing soldiers of the JNA were captured at Col.
